Following the successful first year of delivery, the FA have expanded the SSE Wildcat's Girls Football Centre initiative, resulting in Staffordshire securing 22 centres for 2018.

WHAT IS AN SSE WILDCATS GIRLS' FOOTBALL CENTRE?

The Football Association and SSE have teamed up to create SSE Wildcats, designed to inspire girls aged between 5-11 to be involved in the sport.

SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football Clubs provide girls with regular opportunities to play football and take part in organised sessions in a fun and engaging environment created exclusively for girls.

The sessions take place on a weekly basis, either after school or at weekends, subject to the local organiser. They will provide a safe environment where girls with no football experience can; have fun engaging with sport, develop fundamental skills, try a variety of sessions, learn new things and create foundations for a lifelong love of sport.

Each SSE Wildcats centre will be run in conjunction with local County FAs and utilising qualified coaches and local facilities to offer girls a location nearby where they can get involved.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

Staffordshire is host to 22 SSE Wildcats' Girls Football Centre's, please see below details of each centre:
